Activities for a two year old?

hiya! im a new stay at home mom, never known one never met one. i have a two year old who doesnt like to color or do crafts, and he loves anything physical so normally were just ruff housing. He wont sit down for very long and im wondering if there were any activities i could do to help him calm down a bit?

or if you know any web sites with ideas of things to do id love some of those too ^_^ anything would help.

Hi! my 17 month old loves the outdoors, she loves playing in the back yard we have a slide for her and she likes playing on that ..we also draw with sidewalk chalk and we play with bubbles. We take walks around the trail and there's a neighborhood park near by that we go to and she like to swing and run around.

I say take him outdoors, to a nearby park... Oh man we love the park. Also, indoor play places. Or just let him run around in your yard (if you have one)... If you are trying to do things that are more calm. Maybe instead of coloring try play doh, where he is using his hands more... or finger painting. And if you are worried about too much of a mess, do it outside, and just plan on a bath afterward. Good luck, ENJOY!
